Senior Developer - Web & Group Lead

2020 -> Present
I am a hybrid between people manager and software architect, I work on all web based products the company offers. I spend about 50% of my time people/project managing, 30% architecting & 20% coding. As it stands today, I manage a team of 3 devs and growing. I architect, plan and implement features. Out of all the companies I've worked for, this is by far the most interesting and engaging. Like just a few days ago, I came to the realization that I get to do some things that some devs dream about. I write software that runs in the cloud on vms and software that interfaces with PLCs which are just about as physical as you can get.
